It is a philosophical statement in Latin used by X, which became a fundamental element of Western philosophy. The simple meaning of the phrase is that if someone is wondering whether or not they exist, that is in and of itself proof that they do exist (because, at the very least, there is an "I" who is doing the thinking).
X's original statement was from his Discourse on Method (1637). He wrote it in French, not in Latin, thereby reaching a wider audience in his country than that of scholars. He uses the Latin alternative in the later Principles of Philosophy (1644), Part 1, article 7: "This proposition, _________, is the first and the most certain which presents itself to whoever conducts his thoughts in order".).
Identify X and his statement.
Answer: "Corgito Ergo Sum" or "I Think Therefore I Am" by Rene Descartes.
